Thanks to rapid growth in internet traffic, Active Queue Management (AQM) is intensively researched by several experts. Having said that, little is known regarding AQM in satellite networks. In this project report, we will look into the queueing behavior in satellite networks to spot difficulties with using present Active Queue Management AQM methods. A new AQM technique is suggested to get over the difficulties and it is verified using a practical emulation environment and a mathematical model. Three issues which were found during the research are mentioned in this project. The initial issue is oscillatory queueing, that is due to high buffering thanks to Performance Enhancing Proxy (PEP) in satellite networks where congestion control after the PEP buffering doesn’t efficiently control traffic senders. Present Active Queue Management AQMs which can solve this challenge have tail drop queueing which leads to consecutive packet drops (global synchronization) ….
